This morning, NC State nearly lost its 200-yard free relay to a preliminary disqualification for the second year in a row at the NCAA Division I Men’s Championships<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Initially, NC State was disqualified due to a -0.03 relay exchange between Simonas Bilis and Ryan Held, and a video review of the exchange did not provide what the NCAA is calling a “conclusive view” of the exchange.<\/p>\n

NC State head coach Braden Holloway immediately appealed the ruling, and the NCAA discovered that much of the timing system had issues throughout the morning as well. \u00a0So, the NCAA decided to allow the -0.03 exchange since the timing equipment\u00a0had so many problems throughout the day anyway.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0timing equipment had such an impact on the event, that it double the standard 20-minute break before the 400-yard medley relay this morning.<\/p>\n

The NCAA Division I Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s Swimming & Diving Committee upheld a protest to overturn a\u00a0disqualification that occurred in the third and final heat of the 200-yard men\u2019s freestyle relay qualifying\u00a0heats today.<\/p>\n

The committee used Rule 4 \u2013 2 which states in part \u201c(the committee) shall have discretionary power to\u00a0set aside the application of a rule when there is apparent unfairness.\u201d The committee set aside Rule 4-14-7 which allows a referee to review video of relay exchanges because the referee onsite did not have\u00a0a conclusive view of the swimming exchange to be able to reverse the protest. The team disqualification\u00a0was overturned due to issues surrounding the timing system.<\/p>\n

Committee chair Bill Ball issued the following statement regarding the committee\u2019s decision. \u201cWe\u00a0looked at all the information we had available at our disposal and it was clear that we had some issues\u00a0with the timing system that extended across all three qualifying heats. We felt that we had clear\u00a0evidence that the system was not operating properly and we chose to eliminate all the electronic\u00a0readings and go with human judge decisions in the event. The committee acted in the best interests of\u00a0all 21 teams that were entered in the event.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
